My passenger seat in my W124 Coupe won't lock properly when the doors are shut and engine running. It's due for an MOT and I know it will fail as a result.

One side of the seat locks but the other won't. Drivers side is perfect.

Mercedes want the car for 2 day's!! Mucho money...

Can anyone help. Please!!

Regards

Please note that the passengers seat in a W124 Coupe only locks when the engine is running and the car is in gear. If after trying that it still wont lock look under the seat for the pneumatic lines that go to it as its air controlled. One may be split or have come adrift.
